Hey Jit, know your pain! I had a bugger of a time with mine, there are a LOT of things that can cause low boosting, have you had a look at the vac pipes to the LEFT of the UIM (you will need to take the plastic intake hoses off to see them) in the end my problems were caused by these pups being rather brittel and split.i could keep going and going with causes as i reserched it pretty indepth

Not sure what you got unde the engine, but have you checked that the pripes to the IC and TB are on tight? as they can leak through here (maybe thats your whistle)
I woof in your general direction.

thought i might add that the exhaust fumes smell a little and if you stand behind the car the fumes burn your eyes lol dunno if thats normal either :/ its like tear gas baby yeah hahaha

Yeah it usualy is hot and runs rich :Tongue1  Stick with it Jimjitsu you\'ll get to the end (good looking car too and best color) and will have beated one of the most complex systems on the car :wiggle    ooooorrr go non-seqif you cant beat/fancy the delivery of.

You say you have a whistle up to 5k I had a similar problem thinking about it (car woulld whistle all the way to around 4.5k then go quiet when the 2nd turbo kicked in) And it was because i in my finate wisdom messed up with the Elbow, having it slightly off. (was resting on the gasket, reseated it and no more whistle.) Not saying this is your problem but it sounds similar,As people have said, check those IC pipes from the Turbo to the Thottle body.  takes 30 mins just make sure they are all secure and good:yes

Also dont think ive seen the engine of your car m8 do you have a pic? ^^
